These excavations were the beginning of subsequent appearance of interments of Yaloylutepe type in different regions of Azerbaijan and the eastern Georgia. Investigation of Gabala fortress was held by D.Sharifov jointly with I.M.Jafarzade, K.A.Klementyev and R.Efendiyev in that very year, in the result of which description of archaeological condition of the first capital of Albanian state was published by D.Sharifov. The main part of excavations and investigation of jar burials in Mingachevir and in other districts were held by T.I.Golubkina, who investigated the issue of zoomorphism ceramics in Mingachevir, marks on ceramics and various excavations. Y.A.Pakhomov, N.V.Minkevich-Mustafayeva, R.M.Vaidov, V.P.Fomenko, G.M.Aslanov and K.M.Akhmedov took part in excavation of Mingachevir and investigation of its monuments in different times. Monuments of material culture of Albania found such a multilateral investigator as Y.A.Pakhomov, whose valuable works about numismatics of the Caucasus were famous: six editions were dedicated to monetary treasures, which were founded in the territory of Azerbaijan. Jar burials in Mingachevir and in other districts, defensive walls of Sasanids period in the territory of Albania, Roman ligature on Boyuk Dash (Gobustan), Albanian carved stones were also noted by Y.A.Pakhomov. Various articles dedicated to interesting burners made of ceramics, which were found out in Mingachevir, and also issues about dating of jar and ground burials and peculiar jars in shape of boots, which were found in earlier burials of Mingachevir, were written by G.I.Ione. Various works of Z.I.Yampolski were dedicated to certain monuments – the first Latin inscription, which was found in Azerbaijan, in 1848 and stone monument, which was found in Shamakhi rayon and others. O.S.Ismizade’s work – “Yaloylutepe culture”, which was called the first successful work in generalization of historical and archeological material about Yaloylutepe culture 〔 and published in 1956, is considered the first effort in archeological investigation and generalization of material culture of Caucasian Albania. A number of investigations dedicated to archeological culture of Caucasian Albania are appeared after it. Great monographic investigation of Mingechevir archeologists – G.M.Aslanov, R.M.Vaidov and G.I.Ione, in which great amount of excavations of Copper and Bronze Ages were examined should also be mentioned. Work of Kamilla Trever, who made a great contribution to investigation of culture of Caucasian Albania, appeared at that time. Investigations of R.M.Vahidov and Z.I.Yampolski, dedicated to material and religious culture of Caucasian Albania, are also very interesting. The range of questions related to material and religious life of Mingachevir in abroad, in the 3rd to 8th centuries were covered, kinds of housekeeping, construction, handicraft, burials, epigraphic monuments of ancient Mingachevir were persuasively analyzed in R.M.Vahidov’s work. Facts about production of glass, ceramics and other types of handicraft were especially evaluated. Number of dissertations of historians and archaeologists of the Azerbaijan SSR, dedicated to different stages of development of the culture of Caucasian Albania were defended in 1960’s. Particularly, works of G.M.Aslanov, I.A.Babayev,〔 and A.B.Nuriyev, dedicated to jewelry, glyptics and glass can be called. But these works didn’t examine artistic features of archaeological materials, they didn’t trace development of artistic forms and influence of concrete religious ideas of ancient epochs on them and they hadn’t analyzed issues of periodization of development of arts of Caucasian Albania and other issues. N.I.Rzayev began elaboration of this issue and as a result, a monograph dedicated to ceramics of Caucasian Albania was published. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arts of Caucasian Albania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
